Not quite - if the solvent power is too great, all the Rf's of interest risk getting squashed together, making for a less satisfactory separation. Hence, a mediocre solvent like chloroform may be favorable under some circumstances. Solvent mixtures are often used to optimise separation, since there's not really one single magically optimal solvent.
